Donegal vs Armagh Ulster Championship 2022

[Average Score]

Transparency in the GAA, that would never happen, it's a nonsense.

Does something need to be done about these hanger on types at matches

[greatpoint]

Have the Armagh fans considered chaining themselves to a gate somewhere?

[naka]

I believe armagh should exhaust the appeals process right through to the DRA as this will get to the bottom of the decision regarding Rian and how he was the only one cited on video evidence .

Ignorance is bliss.

The role of the DRA is not to lay dispute an incident. It is to adjudicate on whether the process was followed correctly. As such it is instigated almost always as a challenge to the severity of a punishment, rather than to overturn it.

If Oisin O'Neill gets a one match ban for striking/violent behaviour, then that is the minimum sentence that can be applied. So there is no point in appealing the suspension.

Therefore everything would have to be channelled into proving either a) he didn't do it (which should be as good as impossible)  or b) a technicality with the rule book.... which is much harder to do these days as administrators now have the opportunity to correct clerical errors during the process.


Hence there's a very good reason why you never hear of the DRA these days. It's not worth anyone's while chasing up that tree. Not for open and shut cases anyhow.

Wobbler as I said it's about the process
The dra will review the ccc process  and what they reviewed and give transparency to their decision ,

Whatever about the other suspensions, O'Neill punched a fella in the head. He has no case at all.

Aw come on.

Probably looking you to show the punch to the head. Comparable to Murphys it was pretty innocuous.

Aw come on.

I'm not sure what you mean by this?

Was the tamest punch I ever saw now and didnt even land.

Some sneaky Donegal punches threw too but don't let the orange blindness cloud ones judgement.

The Donegal chap in the bib with the number 1 on it, the Donegal man with the blue shorts (sub keeper?), surely these  boys and the rest of the non-playing men need hefty suspensions? These hooers should be nowhere near a player, never mind laying a hand on them. It's these boys that kept the melee going.

Make an example of a team/s where the sub bench and backroom team take part in melee with hefty repercussions and it'll soon stop

[Average Score]

It is at most a raised arm in which there is minimal contact, go through the rest frame by frame you will see worse. BTW the Sunday Game ffs.

[David McKeown]

I definitely don't think it's a blatant punch but it certainly gives rise to a case to answer. If it was cited in the referees as a strike or attempted strike then I wouldn't expect that footage to over turn it but similarly I don't think it's conclusive to ground a charge.

[Ronnie]

I'd imagine that any appeals will focus on the inherent lack of fairness and the flawed decision to cite one individual.

That's not how it works.

This ... what happens in the league should stay in the league.

[nrico2006]

Its hard to actually pick out any bad incidents at all, that O'Neill one was more a of a fling of the arm and you can't even tell if it connected.

Is Mackin out for the match too?
